silkchild Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I just wish Frank wasn't there, or ever was a part of this Band. Cant let the songs breathe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lio Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Okay, 96 pages in and still no review. We need someone who was actually there. WAKE UP, @Black Sabbath, @Tyler Drama and others that I've forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was able to attend. Showed up round 8pm and got tickets after a little wait. Got down in front, later everyone was moved out by some psychotic usher who cursed at us. I found a better spot right next to Eddie T's table with a perfect view and stayed. That same nut started a fight behind Eddie's table with another employee and almost destroyed the show as they had all their mics set up and she was inches from them. Everyone had a good spot, it's small, however I was glad I was not in the balcony. It's much different in a small venue and I prefer it, the sound is really contained, the intensity is better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be thrilled if Matt came back for the rest of the tour! I still can't understand why Slash and Duff would ditch their long term drummer just to appease Axl. I guess the millions of dollars on the line were too alluring to stand up for Matt! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjasmund Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Listed to the show last night and listening to the encore presentation on SXM now. Axl sounds great. The band is amazing. I can hear so much more of the music, notes, ranges from this show. Really great show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikothebellic Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Well, all in all the show was completely inexplicit in some way (though it was really great until November Rain with some songs at its best) and makes no sense. I mean, even with the "Not in This Lifetime" sigh on the show announcment, it was associated with Apettite for Dectruction anniversary, however, no one even mentioned about the formal reason for the show and I'm not saying about playing the whole album. The thing is, it feels like nobody from the band knew why they were there and therefore have palayed a stardard setlist. OR... OR fans and audience just became victims of band vs. mamanement freud - Appetite for Destruction is strongly related to Los Angeles and it would be logically to praise its anniversary in The Roxy, The Troibadour, Hollywood Bowl, whatever - and maybe there was an actual intention to do that in LA, but the band's managemnt decided to move it to the Apollo, as they were offered more, or they were contracted with SiriusXm, whatever... And knowing Axl and mates, it's really possible that the've done a punch back: ordinary venue for them - ordinary setlist for fans. Cause' its really weired that nobody except damn DJs mentoined the jubilee. Edited July 21, 2017 by nikothebellic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw someone saying Nightrain was like Night Bullet Train, Frank was insanely fast! Terribly sped up....NT actually used to be one not so sped up but it was one of the worst I heard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Swedish Posted July 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) I'm sure I'll get butchered for saying this but hearing a show from this tour mixed for headphone listening made me appreciate Melissa a lot more.

Ace Nova Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I thought it was ballsy for the band to do a live show with a live stream. Not too many bands would do a 3+ hour concert like that, nowadays. So that part about it was very cool and reminded me why they called these guys the "most dangerous band in the world' back in the day. That being said, although I always knew it would be a long shot, a proper AFD anniversary should have included Izzy & Adler. I have a feeling the promoters/Sirius and the band were on 2 different pages in reference to what this show was about. I think Sirius wanted to pump it out as a AFD anniversary show but the band basically wanted to do another show and maybe just recognize the AFD anniversary instead of making the entire show about it. As far as the show itself went, nowhere near their best on this tour, especially Axl. Nowhere near their worst either. Band was pretty solid for most of the night with Slash and Duff being the highlights Fortus was actually solid, Melissa and Frank were ok. Dizzy was Dizzy...I didn't notice any mistakes on piano/keyboards so I'm assuming he did good...lol. On a scale of 1-10 comparing it to other shows on this tour, I'd rate it somewhere around a 7. Axl sounded great on about 1/3 of the songs....ok on about a 1/3 and was off on about a 1/3. That's my 2 cents on the entire event. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSeeker Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Anyone else wish they would have played 2 or 3 more songs and broke the longest-show record?
